@blacktapdubai (Black Tap, ) made our Friday Dinner experience with Family one of the most memorable & exciting. Black Tap’s Dubai menus, including the award-winning Greg Norman Burger with Wagyu beef and blue cheese, the classic All-American Burger and the all-natural Californian with turkey, avocado, Swiss cheese, and truffle mayo.

There are options for Vegetarians too, such as the regionally inspired Falafel Burger and popular vegan Burger, crafted from a black bean patty, pickled onions, salsa verde, cilantro, and vegan mayo.
The menu also includes Black Tap’s gloriously sculpted CrazyShake™ milkshakes such as the cookies ‘n Cream Supreme, Cotton Candy, and the Instagram-favorite Cake Shake. Black Tap’s Abu Dhabi restaurant will also feature a dedicated new menu of mocktails for those looking for something refreshing.

“The response in the Middle East has been extraordinary, and we’re thrilled to bring the Black Tap experience to Abu Dhabi at Yas Mall” says Chris Barish, Black Tap owner, restaurateur and the man behind Black Tap’s expansion in the Middle East.

I personally loved the ambiance, music and round the clock dance offs featured in a big screen. I assume during gaming nights it will showcase some adrenaline rushing sporty activities.

With décor that harkens back to old school hip hop and pop, Black Tap is an homage to the great American luncheonette experience. Owned by Chef Joe Isidori and Restaurateur Chris Barish, the menu features burgers ranging from the classic All-American to The Vegan Burger, along with burger salad options, spicy Korean wings and sides such as Teriyaki Broccoli and Crispy Brussels Sprouts. The Greg Norman Burger, with wagyu beef, house buttermilk-dill dressing, blue cheese, and arugula won “People’s Choice” at the New York City Wine & Food Festival’s Burger Bash competition three years in a row in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Black Tap’s signature CrazyShake™ milkshakes have reached worldwide acclaim with their whimsical and over the top decorations and flavors such as The Cotton Candy Shake, Sweet n Salty, and The Bam Bam Shake. Black Tap has three locations in New York City, and the first West Coast location opened in Las Vegas at The Venetian in December 2017. Internationally, Black Tap has locations in Dubai and Geneva, and will open its first Asia location at Marina Bay Sands in Singapore in summer 2018, along with new Middle East openings in Abu Dhabi and Kuwait.
